The female bovine moaned as the doctors approached. Vishnu took the liberty of translating common speak to cow tongue for her. The mother of the unborn calf calmed down a little and Hua Tuo instructed Zero to start sterilising the tools while he started to help the cow get into a surgery ’dress’ made out of faded cloth. The fat cow licked her tail twice and allowed Hua Tuo to feel around her rump. Hua Tuo was marking out the places where he would be making the incision when Zero returned with…-

Hua Tuo nodded as Zero recited everything correctly from his earlier lecture about the cow’s surgery. The mother had been prepared for the operation the previous night and was currently waiting in the makeshift operating stable. Zero was initially shocked when he was told that the cow would be standing up while they did the surgery. Hua Tuo then explained that animals had different anatomies from humans. The cow’s organs were closer to the rear and lying down would only make things more difficult…

"You have everything you need?" Buddha asked and Hua Tuo nodded. It took a little longer than he expected to complete his errands but he was finally done. Buddha seemed intrigued by Hua Tuo’s report about Zero’s inner world and cultivation base. Who would have thought that the octopus Ba Guai would be capable of cultivating independently in Zero’s world? "I’ll be heading back to Half Moon Village to resume Zero’s medical training. We might visit the abyss for a few months and set up shop…

By the end of the day when the moon was at its highest, Zero found it slightly difficult to keep up with the previous energy level. His body was telling him that it was bedtime even though Zero didn’t really like sleeping early. It could be due to the level of activities going around in the village. With Hua Tuo, Zero had to find things to entertain himself with. With the village, Zero barely had any time to himself. Today’s master of ceremonies was Ruth. Like the battle that morning, only a handful…

Not many villagers turned up for the next scheduled match. It wasn’t because Qin Yun and Titor weren’t popular. It was because not many of them were physically capable of withstanding such pressure from the exchange of blows between cultivators. Instead of using the village square, Qin Yun and Titor decided to take it up at the river away from the village where Zero previously trained his water-walking skills. Only the faes, Zoe and Rima came along with Zero to watch the exchange. The magicians were…

As the time for their scheduled match drew closer, Roovan felt the jitters take over his body. He was not ready to fight that vampire. Even though Ruth hasn’t been in the village for long, nobody doubted his strength. Vampires, even on Earth, were known to be one of the most powerful supernaturals that existed. They had insanely high regenerative abilities, speed like no other and terrifying strength on top of their blood gift. If Roovan had a choice, he didn’t want to go up against such a terrifying…

After the feast, Gerald and Vrald excused themselves. Nobody stopped them. It was obvious that the swordsmen were going back to sharpen their swords before the battle. Unlike Camie and Clowis’ match, neither of them wanted to dull their blades. As true swordsmen, they would compete fair and square. There were no tricks like the previous match. This was a match about skills and ethics. The two dragon descendants didn’t speak. Olaf had made them a promise to teach them art if they proved their worth…

With the hype from the first match still strong in the air, the village was in a buzz. Zero went down to meet Zenobia and Mitchnew, congratulating them both and gushing about how brilliant those moves were. Cleo busied away to prepare the stage for the next match. The next round’s competitors were also busy warming up. This time, they didn’t bother with a terrain. Instead, Lovina double checked all the barriers. They would need very strong barriers for the next match. The next battle was one…

The excitement could be felt in the air. Everyone was pumped up and gathered in the village square. It had been a long time since they witnessed such an exciting sparring session. magic, qi and adrenaline thrummed through the veins of every warrior who was watching the demonstration. Zero didn’t know who would emerge victorious. Both ladies were equally strong and he couldn’t help but want to root for both of them at the same time. As Zenobia and Mitchnew stepped into the magically reinforced arena,…

Zero didn’t like the sly smiles everyone was giving him. It was the kind of "I-know-something-you-don’t" kind of smile. Baal would often give him this annoying smile when he was keeping secrets and the one thing Zero hated more than cliff hangers were secrets. If he knew they existed, it drove him crazy to not know what it was. Qin Yun and Zero were the last to eat lunch and Zoe wasn’t too pleased. Even as the zashikiwarashi fumed, she continued to heat up their lunch and refill their cups. Qin…
